This week all of the primary 1 children took part in the highland games. First we worked in the gym hall to compete in the shot put, the caber toss, the wellie toss and the farmer’s dash. We worked in teams which we called clans. There was clan Anderson, Bruce, Campbell and Douglas. We made shields to show which clan we were part of.
After taking part in all of our events we went back to class for an athlete’s feast. We got to try Scottish cheddar and oatcakes, carrot cabers, shortbread and even had a little taste of Irn Bru. Before we started eating and drinking we had a toast with our drinks and we all said cheers.
We think that we worked well in our teams by encouraging each other. Our highland games was great, awesome and cool.
Well done all of you at P1b and P1a. What sporting challenges you were all involved in 😉 Great efforts. I bet you all enjoyed it. I wish I could be your classmate and join in to have fun together.
I loved the Highland Games. My favourite parts were farmer’s dash and caber toss. It was fun to have them at PE.
What a bunch of Super Stars, you all look like warriors and you got fit while you were learning. Well done!
I had great fun doing the Highland Games and trying all the different foods and even some Irn Bru. Holly
My favourite parts were the caber toss and welly throw. I liked the feast too.
I loved the Highland games and being in Clan Douglas. Working together was fun. Rory
